In front of the red steam locomotive, Allen's appearance attracted the attention of the young wizards and their parents, especially the majestic Anka on his shoulder. Everyone knew that this phoenix was a gift from Ravenclaw to Professor Allen Harris.
"Now, Saint Mungo has to open up a separate path to the level of Ravenclaw's shrine, so that the wizards who are attracted to the shrine won't affect the wizards who really need to see a doctor."
"The Harris family, who received Ravenclaw's gift, seems to have asked the Umbrella Corporation to donate a new small shrine, which is being built in Diagon Alley. This has caused some controversy, and several of the Holy 28 Families seem to have hinted in their own magazines that this is a hoax."
"But Professor Harris really got a phoenix, and those patients really did get better!"
…
It was within Alan's expectations that he would be able to attract such attention and response. However, he did not expect that compared to the dignified restraint of the adult wizards in England, the little wizards of Hogwarts would not care much. After boarding the train, not only did they follow behind him, but they also wanted to take a look at Anka. Even after the train had started, there were still some little wizards who passed by his box, pretending to be clever to hide their curiosity. They stuck their heads out to look at Phoenix who had landed on the back of the chair in the box.
Hermione used her status as the female leader to drive those young wizards back to their boxes, but it was not good to drive away people like Jenny who came with friends. Lavender Brown asked her boyfriend, Ron, to ask his sister to help her come over for a closer look, and she made a fuss about nothing and praised Anka.
"I'm sorry, Hermione. Lavender pestered Ron and me to come and see Anka, and I can't do anything about it." Jenny sat opposite Hermione. Seeing how excited Lavender and the others were, Jenny held her forehead and stopped herself from swallowing the leaf in her mouth. She tried to make herself apologize to Hermione clearly. Compared to the holidays, she was much better at it now.
"Not only them, but the girls in the training class are also curious." Hermione raised her chin at the group of young wizards outside the box, and then grumbled, "Some of the young witches didn't come here to see the phoenix …"
At this time, Luna was sitting next to Hermione and flipping through "Sing Sing Sing", as if nothing could attract her attention. She only looked at Hermione's other side vigilantly from time to time, guarding against any sudden attacks.
The light blonde little witch and the female phoenix couldn't sit side by side. As long as Anka got close to Luna, she couldn't help but use her sharp beak to bite Luna's wrist. If it weren't for Hermione, who was treated as a tool in the nest by the female phoenix, separating them, this box would have been turned upside down.
In the eyes of the female phoenix, Luna was the evilest witch who caught her and turned her mate into a human. It was already a concession for her to let her stay in the same box with them. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she knew the strength of the evilest witch and had to take into account her weak mate, as a phoenix born in the Middle Ages, Anka's aggressiveness wouldn't be limited to this.
Jenny pursed her lips at Lavender, who was blowing kisses at Anka in an exaggerated manner. She had enough of this girl who liked to use kisses to express her enthusiasm. However, she was indeed a little envious of the female phoenix. She didn't take a closer look at it last time in the Burrow, but this time, she couldn't help but lean closer to take a closer look, and was almost pecked by the phoenix.
The phoenix Anka didn't show any disgust or discomfort at the enthusiasm of these girls. It held its head high, and its golden tail feathers swayed from time to time to show off its figure. However, when it found that Jenny was looking at it too close, almost to Allen's side, its eyes instantly sharpened, and it stuck its head out to peck at her. No one wanted to experience the feeling of being pecked by that sharp beak. Frightened, Jenny unconsciously stepped back and returned to Hermione's side, a little further away from Allen. Only then did the phoenix satisfactorily use its beak to comb its feathers, which had been messed up when Allen stopped its attack.
"I'm sorry, Ginny. He hasn't learned how to properly interact with people." Alan apologized to Ginny, and then helped Anka ruffle his feathers.
"Jenny, it seems that the phoenix doesn't like you as much as I do." Lavender giggled at the embarrassed Jenny, and then said enviously, "The phoenix protects its master. Compared to it, I suddenly feel that my owl isn't so cute."
When Lavender finally left Anka's side, Hermione felt that even Allen seemed to be relieved. However, before Hermione could laugh, Lavender walked towards her, and Hermione's smiling lips immediately stiffened.
"Jenny, thank you. The phoenix is simply the most charming creature I've ever seen besides Law," Lavender said excitedly. Then, she pretended to blink mysteriously. "I also have good news. Parvati, who stayed at the school for Christmas, told me that the school has posted notices in every common room. This new semester, there will be a Phantom Transfiguration teacher from the Ministry of Magic teaching a Phantom Transfiguration course. I heard that it will last for a full twelve weeks! I can take this course with Law for twelve weeks in a row … "
After saying that, Lavender suddenly covered her cheeks in an exaggerated manner. This sudden shyness made Jenny and Hermione look at each other, and they couldn't speak as if they were choked. Jenny even covered her throat uncomfortably. She had almost swallowed the mandrake leaves just now.
"Hermione, I remember that you and Luna have already passed the Phantom Transfiguration test in advance, registered with the Ministry of Magic, and obtained the license, right?" Jenny looked at Hermione enviously. "I also want to learn it in advance. George and the others have never properly taken the stairs ever since they learned it."
"Oh, Jenny, I'm afraid that won't do …" Hermione scratched her head awkwardly. "According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, Phantom Transfiguration is only available to students 17 years old and above. Luna and I actually obtained it in advance … It's against …"
When the female Gryffindor leader's voice became lower and lower, Luna continued for her, "It's against the rules. Hermione, we've broken the rules."
"Ahem … Under Fudge's leadership, the Ministry of Magic's regulations had too many loopholes, and they were too simple and crude. They didn't prepare a more reasonable path for the talented wizards." Allen shamelessly ignored the fact that he had exploited the loopholes. "My father will probably fix these mistakes in the future."
Lavender rolled his eyes and let her approach the female leader, who was actually her roommate. "Hermione, your grades are so good, and you've mastered Phantom Transfiguration so long in advance. Is there a trick to it?"
Hermione, who liked to answer such questions, actually replied to her. She straightened her body, cleared her throat, and began her habitual recitation of teaching. "The specific details will be taught by the instructor of Transfiguration Phantom. The most important thing to remember when using Transfiguration Phantom is the three'D 'principles, which are Destination, Determination, and Deliberation. When you perform Phantom Transfiguration, you must focus on the target, be determined to occupy the space you want, and move calmly. When you first start using it, Phantom Transfiguration may make a sound. It may be a slight crackle, or it may be a loud explosion. To Muggle, it's like a car backfiring. Allen's Phoenix and the house fairies can also use Phantom Transfiguration, and they can ignore some of the wizard's restrictions. They can perform Phantom Transfiguration in Castle Hogwarts, but the magic here will prevent wizards from using this ability in these places. In addition, wizards usually need to use a wand to perform Phantom Transfiguration, but if you have enough talent and are more skilled, you can perform it without a wand … "
In the training class, other than the wizards who had reached the age requirement and a small number of wizards who had practiced at home, most of the members had never practiced Phantom Transfiguration, even if they had practiced some black magic that was no less dangerous than Phantom Transfiguration. Because the Anti-Phantom Transfiguration Circle was in effect in Hogwarts, they could not practice it in the training class activities, nor could they openly practice it in the Black Lake or the Forbidden Forest outside the circle area. Headmaster Dumbledore, who had the authority, of course, would not cancel the magic temporarily and remove this restriction.
Of course, Allen now had a higher authority than the headmaster, and he also had the ability to control these functions of Hogwarts, but he would not expose himself for the sake of these students who were destined to learn in advance.
"… There is a limit to the distance of Phantom Transfiguration. As the distance of Phantom Transfiguration increases, it will become more and more difficult. Intercontinental Phantom Transfiguration can only be used by highly skilled wizards, otherwise, it may lead to separation, serious injury, or even death. Phantom Transfiguration requires the wizard to have a good understanding of the destination, they need to clearly think about it in their mind … "
"Who saw Katie?" Lavender suddenly asked loudly.
Hermione, who had not enjoyed herself to the fullest, was a little unhappy, "What happened to her?"
Originally, Jenny deeply regretted getting too close to Lavender due to her usual startled appearance, but this time, after she interrupted Hermione's over-the-top explanation, Jenny felt for the first time that the strength of her brother's girlfriend was sometimes quite good.
"I want her to teach me how to pray to the great Madam Ravenclaw. She's so efficacious, and considering my piety, she'll definitely bless me to learn Phantom Transfiguration. Most importantly …" Lavender Brown clasped his hands together in front of him, lowered his head shyly, and twisted his body, "I hope Ravenclaw can bless me and my beloved Rory to be together forever and ever."
After a short silence, Jenny had to use her fingers to pull back the mandrake leaf that had slipped halfway into her throat, realizing that it was just an illusion.
…
The Hogwarts Express was about to arrive, and these girls who came to watch Anka had all returned to their boxes to pack their luggage and change into their school uniforms. The boisterous box finally quieted down.
"Let's not take the train next year and come directly …" Allen, who had always liked the privacy of the box, also felt that he could not handle it just now, "I'll go out first, call me when you're done …"
Hermione, who had just taken out her school uniform, turned her head to look at Luna who was trapped in her turtleneck sweater, and asked deliberately, "Then, great Madam Ravenclaw, will you bless her?"
"She can bless herself with her faith alone … Hermione, give me a hand." Luna's muffled voice came from the black hole in the turtleneck sweater. She had mistakenly put her head in the sleeve.
